Best B-wing ever!!

By clontroper5, in X-Wing

So had this idea,

Keyan farland (31?) (is that right? cant remember his name)

stay on target(2)

navigator(3)

adv sensors(3)

total: 39

So every turn he gets to pick his maneuver in the combat phase, gets to barrel roll/target lock then receives a stress he can spend as a focus, all without any support from the rest of his squad

O.P.? I think yes!!

you can also thrown a weapon on him if you want to spend the points.Maybe a fat dash, keyan build?

anyway just a thought

It would be OP if he was PS10. At PS7, it's not that much better than just knowing what you should do to begin with. How often are you going to want the 2 bank instead of the 1 bank? It's more likely that you guessed right and needed to go left, so SOT has a place, especially on Keyan, but the speeds are relatively set. I suppose you could need a 3RB and a 2LB based on the asteroid placements, but to devote 7 points to it... eh.

PS - you forgot the E2 modification.

Edit: And he's only 29 points, not 31.

You may wanna try PtL instead of navigator, AS barrel roll should help you just fine if your blocked and PtL ensures you can always barrel roll & target and get the stress like focus to burn.

Keyan: PtL, AS is 35 Pts

A 40 point 1 agility ship just wont last very long and is handing the other guy a really nice fat target.

Really, one should never drop above 6 points on keyan. B-wings just aren't built to be as silly as YTs (defensive tech, dat profile, large base displacement with EU and junk, 360 turret letting them go wherever while still getting shots...) and fold very easily. Keyan lasts longer because he's hilariously able to ram into ships with no consequence (Advanced sensors, plus "focus" from his ability) denying them shots that might have otherwise killed him, but it's not something to bank a host of upgrades on.

All you need is Keyan, Advanced Sensors, and your choice of optional EPT with PTL/SOT/Vi being some very solid choices.

Don't drop 6 points on him? Oh... I dropped 70...

I dunno how to link it from my phone. Basic jest is get Wes to trigger oppertunist for Kenyan, and get Jan to pump up Keyans HLC to a SLC.

You could equip Kyle Katan who after you remove stress you get a focus so now you have a focus for attacking and a focus for defending. I know a focus token for only 1 dice rolls not much but it could work.

There is a point, it is not just a ship build but a squadron. One ship doesn't make a squadron. Also if you point overload in a shingle ship that would likely be the first ship destroyed.
